H79.2442 Lecture 4 Credits
Instructor(s): Papadopoulos
In this class we explore the possibility of developing wearable devices & accessories as means to generate social experiments and as agents of expressivity and communication. As the class traces the relationship between the body, fashion, technology and social interaction students are asked to actively explore this trajectory and develop ideas and devices around them. What would an electronic gesture be like? How can technology & fashion allow people to dynamically express themselves? What is a subversive technology? Weekly assignments frame the theoretical discourse while a final project help students synthesize theoretical considerations and design practices in the wearable computing space.
